In the competitive world of sports, athletes are constantly seeking innovative ways to enhance their performance and optimize recovery. One emerging trend gaining popularity among elite athletes, including some of the world’s best disc golf players, is the gentle heat of sauna sessions. In this article, we explore the benefits of the use of sauna in sports recovery and highlight the insights gathered from top disc golf athletes during interviews conducted inside the Kirami FinVision® sauna.
The Sauna Advantage:
Saunas have long been recognized for their therapeutic benefits. The heat generated in a sauna induces several physiological responses in the body, including increased circulation, relaxation of muscles, and the release of endorphins. These effects are particularly valuable for athletes engaged in intense physical activity.
Interviewing the Best in Disc Golf:
We had the unique opportunity to speak with some of the world’s best disc golf players about their experiences with sauna sessions. These athletes, known for their precision and skill on the disc golf course, revealed that incorporating sauna sessions into their routine has played a pivotal role in maintaining peak performance and expediting recovery.
“Saunas are great for recovery, and it is just a nice place to sit post-workout and just kind of reflect on what you did. And then kind of for me, I like to workout late, so it (sauna) actually really calms me and settles me before going to bed.”
Paul McBeth – Disc Golf World Champion
“I have a Finnish sauna at home, so sauna has definitely been a recovery instrument for me and a part of my routine.”
Kirstin Tattar – Disc Golf World Champion
One key takeaway from the interviews was the unanimous agreement on the positive impact of sauna use on muscle relaxation. Disc golf players emphasized the importance of keeping muscles limber and ready for action, and the sauna proved to be a valuable tool in achieving this goal.
“I have noticed a difference when using sauna post-workout and in recovery. It relaxes me and allowes me to recover. I don´t get as sore the next day or following days and I feel like it is almost an additional workout to the recovery as well.”
Paul McBeth – Disc Golf World Champion
